This is a bad idea.

1. You're already too low, and the car would handle better and ride smoother if you raised the car a little.

2. If you get shorter springs in the same rate, there is a significant risk that your springs will coil bind. This means that the spring will fully close over bumps and spring rates essentially spikes to infinity. Meaning crappy handling, crappy ride quality, AND probably suspension damage.

People that want to go this low don't give a **** about handling. They just want to be herra frush with stupid offset wheels and screwed up suspension geo.
